One of the users' biggest complaints is that the Messenger application has too many annoying notifications. Therefore, Facebook has developed a feature that helps users manage notifications according to individual needs.

To do this, go to the conversation then click on the icon with the word (i) in the right corner of the screen. The Settings menu appears, select Notification and then click to select the time to turn off the notification. So you will not be bothered by the chat in the selected time period.

Delete a message separately

Instead of deleting the entire conversation by swiping right and selecting Delete, you can delete individual messages in it. To make the message need to be manipulated and hold down, a message pops up with three options: Copy to copy the content, Delete to delete the message and Forward to forward the message to another conversation.

Check the status of sending messages

Facebook Messenger will issue a different notification every time you send a message, depending on whether the message is sent or read.

2. Blue circle with a tick in the middle means the message has been sent.
3. The circle is green with white traces in the middle of the message that has reached the recipient's computer.
4. The circle with the recipient's small avatar means the message has been read (Seen).

Show or hide location information

Based on the GPS positioning feature, Facebook Messenger will send the location information of chat people when they allow. This feature is enabled if the arrow next to the chat box is green, on the contrary, white is turning off the feature to send location information.
